Good News Everyone!!! (The joysplosion thread)

Waaaait I'm conflating Prizegiving at high school with an actual final sorta-graduation but not-really thing we had. Prizegiving was definitely the bigger event; it's when the proxime accessit and dux for the year were named, as well as all the smaller scholarships and awards for top of respective subjects were given out.

Your actual high school qualification like the kind you put on a CV had no relation to the actual high school (although I did put my Prizegiving achievements down on my CV for the first couple jobs I hunted around for out of high school). It was either NCEA Level 3, University Entrance (which is doing a certain amount of literacy and numeracy things in the NCEA format), or grades from Cambridge exams if you went to a private high school.

Then again New Zealand is weeeird so what do I know. Congrats to Sollie and Guy :>
